AJust as far as DI caAn remember
She'Ell remaAin the rose of my heart
AMum fell DsiAck along in December
February bErought Aus broken hearts
The reason we've not called a family reunion
We knew that she wouldn't be there
But now that we've thought it all over Mama
We know you're spirit is here
DNo, nAo, I can't forget the hours
you’re the dearest one mum
ADnd Esweeter than the flowers
DOh no Athere's no use to bother
To speak of you now
DwouEld only hurt Father
DOh no Amomma we'll never forget you
DAnd someday Ewe'All meet you up there
We all gathered round and I stared at their faces
All heads were bowed mighty low
But this was one time we all had to face it
Though it hurt us so badly you know
Well it felt so good for us to be together
But I had to look after dad
Oh no Mother when I passed by your casket
I didn't want to remember you dead
Oh no I can't forget the hours your the only one Momma
And sweeter than the flowers
Oh no there's no use to bother
To speak of you now would only hurt Father
Oh no momma we'll never forget you
And someday we'll meet you up there
